Pray a novena to Saint Teresa of Avila, a virgin and doctor of the Church. This novena was written by St. Alphonsus Liguori. Along with Saint John of the Cross, Saint Teresa reformed the Carmelite order. Like Saint John of the Cross, she was known for her many works of theology, including mysticism. In this novena, we ask Christ for the grace to imitate the virtues of Saint Teresa of Avila. Each day, we pray for a different gift.
